CFB Odds See Sooners Getting Action at the Sports Books

One team that is gaining some action on the odds board in college football betting at the sportsbook is Oklahoma.

The Sooners odds to win the national tournament have slipped to 7-1. Only two squads have lower odds at the sportsbook. Ohio State is 6-1 while defending champion Alabama is 4-1.



Sportsbook college sports betting odds will likely prefer Oklahoma in each match they play this year. Their most difficult test seems to be the game against Texas. The Sooners have a advantageous schedule even though they won’t be the highest ranked team in the country to start the year. Oklahoma did not have a season up to their specifications a year ago. They went 8-5 and didn’t make a BCS bowl match. It was only the 3rd time in the last 10 years that Oklahoma did not make a BCS bowl match.

It was unanticipated to see them fall last year since Oklahoma is normally a national power under head coach Bob Stoops. It ought to be noted though that the Sooners lost quarterback Sam Bradford to injury at the beginning in the year. That hurt them last year but since Landry Jones has experience, it might aid them this year. Jones threw for 3,198 yards and 26 touchdowns last year. The Sooners also return running back DeMarco Murray. Not to be overlooked is wide receiver Ryan Broyles, who caught 89 passes for 1,120 yards and 15 touchdowns a year ago.

The Sooners always seem to be great on defense and in 2010 they return linebacker Travis Lewis, who headed the team in tackles, defensive end Jeremy Beal who headed the team in sacks and safety Quinton Carter, who tied for the team lead in interceptions. The Sooners also have a great recruiting class coming in that ought to offer support.

Oklahoma was just 24th in the country in total yards last year and though that doesn’t sound too bad, it’s not good enough for the Sooners. In total yards permitted, the defense was reliable at 8th best in the country. If the offense was in the top 10, that number would have been good enough, nevertheless they were not. They ought to be much better this year since Jones has another year of knowledge.

Because of their skill and also because of their schedule, the Sooners are considered national title contenders. Their most difficult game will be against Texas. The Sooners ought to be preferred in both of their matches versus Missouri and Oklahoma State as well, even though it’s not easy winning there.
